PA was so excited about the dude that we traded up (unheard of for Cincy) to get him. OL coaches have been fired for less than that. I don't feel like getting into a 3 page debate on this, but I think our pass pro was exposed a bit when Dalton went down. Sure, Macaroni often held on too long, but still. To go from a 20 sack pace to a 50+ sack pace with McCarron was pretty extreme. The run game was awful all year.
Even if PA isn't as bad as some think, he certainly doesn't have a flawless resume like some think. Fwiw, last year was the only year since 2006 that we finished higher than 20th in yards per carry. With the talent we have at RB, there's no excuse for that.
Here's the thing.....he has done nothing that is worthy of a lifetime deal. Scarnecchia? On Super Bowl winning staffs.....PA? Part of the 2nd worst decade in all of professional sports. It's a no brainer.....it's BEYOND time for a fresh approach.
I see some blaming Hue....they blamed Gruden....they blamed Brat.....we're even blaming a rookie backup now. When are we going to look at the white elephant in the room?
